Description

The British LibraryAn evocative, British mystery from the 1930s: a golden age of crime writing. An escaped convict assumes a new identity when he steals the clothes of a bather on a sultry July afternoon. Evading the prison guards who are seeking him out, ‘Mr Pottermack’ begins a new life. But can his secret stay hidden? When a blackmailer threatens exposure, violence ensues. Tampering with the evidence, can Pottermack distract the forensic instincts of Dr Thorndyke as he investigates? Can Pottermack avoid both the hangman’s noose and discovery of his true identity as he enters a game of cat and mouse with Dr Thorndyke. A thrilling, inverted mystery from 1930 by R. Austin Freeman (1862-1943), the physician turned crime writer whose work is acclaimed for experimental narratives and scientific methods.
